The events in and around Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, TX in January 2022 could have been another story about the prejudice and deep division in our society – instead, out of the trauma and fear emerged a story of a community united. A foundational lesson that calls to us from that recent – and further off – history: how do we build supportive, resilient, and diverse communities? Join religious leaders from Dallas, TX who disagree on fundamental and consequential things yet have been investing in mutually inspiring relationships for years. In the face of the Beth Israel synagogue hostage crisis in January 2022 those relationships helped a hurting community confront prejudice and division. Come away inspired, with tools to start or deepen your own relationships across diverse communities and with new connections to a growing global network.

This conversation, moderated by IFYC, will include Dimitry Anselme from Facing History and Ourselves, Rev. Dr. Bob Roberts, Jr., Adena Cytron-Walker, and Imam Dr. Omar Suleiman.

The Community Harvest Garden at Christ the King Lutheran Church in West Chester is entering its second year. We would like to invite YOU to join us in helping to feed our community.
The Community Harvest Garden includes the large Shared Harvest bed in which we grow produce for local food pantries. We also have smaller garden beds which people can “adopt’ to grow their own food.
No experience is needed! We are a teaching-garden and have experienced gardeners to guide novices through the growing process. Everyone is welcome to participate and to share their talents and learn new skills. Volunteer gardeners are needed to help with planting, maintenance, and harvesting in the Shared Harvest bed. Experienced gardeners are welcome to join us as a “gardening partner” to those who may need assistance in their adopted bed.
There will be a COMMUNITY HARVEST GARDEN 2022 INFORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday, February 9 at 7 pm. This meeting is for everyone interested in learning more about the garden and how they can get involved to grow food for themselves and our community.

Artist Susan Ribnick brought together 36 mosaic artists from around the world to create works that react and respond to the Tree of Life Congregation shooting in Pittsburgh, PA on October 27, 2018. Eleven people were killed and six were wounded in the white supremacist terrorist mass shooting, the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States. The 36 mosaics in the exhibition evoke themes ranging from antisemitism and injustice to hope, resilience, and peace.
